Mmm…Chocolate! It’s American Chocolate Week

I know you can’t hear me but I was hoping the title of this post would sound a little like Homer Simpson: mmm….chocolate! Talk about a word that makes just about everyone smile. Our Baking Kitchen is one of the happiest places in our building!

In honor of American Chocolate Week (starting tomorrow!) our recipe for Double Chocolate Warm Pudding Cake came to mind immediately. You get the best of both worlds in one recipe: a moist chocolate cake and a spoon-licking chocolate sauce. What makes this pudding cake so unique? Besides no eggs and mixer being needed, the cake batter is spread in the pan first, and then the sauce poured over the top. During its quick baking time, the sauce mysteriously ends up on the bottom and the cake on top.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes (25 to 30 minutes if using a glass dish) or until cake layer forms on top and edges are bubbly. Some sauce may bubble up through the cake. Let stand for at least 10 minutes. Spoon into serving dishes, spooning chocolate sauce over cake. Top with whipped topping or your favorite ice cream, if desired.

Eating this warm is a must. If there is any left, individual servings can be reheated in the microwave.
